Being disabled gave me an immense advantage. People are kinder to you. It puts you on a different level than if you go into a situation whole and secure.

I realize more and more what it takes to be a really good photographer. You go in over your head, not just up to your neck.

No country has ever closely scrutinized itself visually ... I know what we could make of it if people only thought we could dare look at ourselves.

We know by now how to photograph poor people. What we don't know is how to photograph affluence - whose other face is poverty.

I believe in living with the camera, and not using the camera.

To know ahead of time what you're looking for means you're then only photographing your own preconceptions, which is very limiting, and often false.
